So where is Robbie-kins today?

He's doing constituency visits. ROTFLMAO

Sugar Beach? That's a weak deflection even by Drug's standards.

APB out tonight for a drunk driver. Approach with caution, he may be carrying McDonald's.

Made me choke on my glass of Russian Prin...um...water!

Rob Ford's Grasp Of The Past

Just because he's called as a witness doesn't mean he cant be charged in his own right. It just means anything he says can't be used against him in a court of law, which doesn't mean that the police can't use what he said as a source of where to look or what to look at. Not that I'm an expert or anything.

As I understand you have to explicitly invoke the right when testifying.

Ummmm....Isn't what Wormtongue said just as libelous?

That's true. But Rubbie isn't a rocket scientist. I can see him spilling when he doesn't even realize he's doing it. And sometimes it isn't even that complicated. Sometimes it's as easy as denying something that's already known to be true. Against a good prosecutor Rubbie doesn't stand a chance! I may be tempted to go with popcorn just to see the pig sweat.

Here is the video of the DoFo scrum. How is that not campaigning?

Because it's a scrum. That's allowed. Holding a press conference at City Hall to spew campaign nonsense is not.

Right. Thanks for the clarification. My default is to think they are doing something wrong.

To me, pronouncing it as 'expresso' is one of the worst things Rob Ford has ever done.

And he's done a lot of bad shit.

In that same video, he pronounced Eglinton, EglinGton. Moron.

'Hands in the ... piggy bank'. That's a new one.

From Keenan now at the Star:

"Has Rob Ford repealed the laws of logic? "

"To put it another way, is Rob Ford lying, or is he bone-crushingly stupid?
The answer is yes."

Here's hoping he'll be a private citizen when he takes the stand. No more politics involved.

I hope so too but unless he is in jail or dead I highly doubt that Oct. 27th is the last time we hear from Rob Ford in the political arena.

As I understand you have to explicitly invoke the right when testifying.

From what I've read about cases involving Section 13 of the Charter is that it is automatically invoked when a witness is statutorily compelled to tesitify, and even when they are not compelled but could have been compelled. In this case, Ford is going to be subpoenaed and that counts as compelled so as I understand it he will automatically have the quid pro quo of Section 13 apply to his testimony.
